NHS Nottingham West CCG and NHS England is directing patients towards four other surgeries in Beeston, Chilwell and Bramcote.

Three of the recommended GP practices are rated 'outstanding' by the CQC while one is considered to be 'good'.

Dr Nicole Atkinson, GP and clinical lead at NHS Nottingham West CCG, said: "Our priority is to ensure our patient population has ongoing access to high quality GP services.

"We have been working closely with GP practices in the local area and they are ready to accept new patients.

"We are sorry for any worry or inconvenience this may cause, but we are keen to encourage patients to register with a new GP practice as soon as possible. This is particularly important for people with long-term health conditions and those who need repeat prescriptions."

The Post has contacted West End Surgery for comment.

After the last CQC inspection, a spokesperson said: "While we are understandably disappointed with the outcome of the CQC's inspection, we have taken immediate steps to address a number of their concerns and are working closely with NHS England and NHS Nottingham West CCG to ensure that our patients continue to have access to safe clinical care."
